Should have got vaccinated

Yeah, just like De La Hoya did.

Sure...its easier for me to type this from home. But if your bread is determined on you making it to fight night, and fighting is your professional JOB, 20 months into a pandemic you would think you would do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to avoid a cancelled fight. Guys try to avoid injuries in camp, "try" to not get popped for banned substances, try to minimize distractions. You would think COVID would be something the camp/team would be vigilant about. If I was a promoter/manager, I would hire a COVID Captain, pay this man 2% of the purse, whose sole job is oversight and prevention of COVID threats. No joke. You need to go get groceries? Nah guy, I got you. Hey sparring guy? Where's your test in the last 72 hours, especially if you're going to breathing all on my fighter and all. COVID Captain does roadwork in the morning, and COVID CAPTAIN goes on the promo tour. COVID CAPTAIN has a fanny pack with hand wipes, hand sanitizer, and a can of Lysol in hand during all open gym hours. Laugh all you want, but that's why this year is worse for boxing than last year because COVID Captains aren't employed.

Did he get vacinated? If not it's his own fault! The pandemic been going on since the begining of 2020, so he's had plenty of time.

I thought getting vaccinated was supposed to Make this unnecessary

Vaccinated? Are you not aware of the fact that thousands of people just in the US alone are testing POSITIVE for COVID despite being fully vaccinated? The Delta variant doesn't care if you're vaccinated. In fact, CDC just released a study about a recent COVID spike in Massachusetts and found that 74% of everyone infected was FULLY VACCINATED.

Please people, stop with the vaccination is our savior myths. Not only are these vaccines not as safe as most have been led to believe but they are nowhere near as efficacious as your overlords want you to believe as well.
